Kind of depends on your budget. The Macbook Air can be configured to match a lower end Macbook Pro in RAM and HD. Up to 8GB Ram and 512GB HD but will be a little more expensive.
If you need the extra storage and RAM, 1TB storage and 16GB RAM is the top of the line for the Mac Book Pro, then you should go for the Macbook Pro.
If 8GB RAM and 512GB HD is o.k for you, then you'll benefit from the Air's portability as its lighter and smaller.
All in all, I would if portability is really important, go for the Air, and just increase its RAM to 8GB. A small portable external Hard drive will compensate for the lack of internal storage.

MacBook Pro i5 2.5 GHz/8GB RAM With Retina

Hi eveyone,
As many of you already did, today I've upgraded my MacBook Pro i5 2.5 GHz/8GB RAM from Mountain Lion (10.8.5) to Mavericks (10.9).
Unfortunately, I'm experiencing serious and unpleasant issues since I installed the upgrade.
Specifically, my monitor flickers almost every time I scroll an application window (e.g., Safari, Chrom or internet, either using an USB mouse or the trackpad.
Moreover, when I pass the mouse over the Dock, this starts vibrating from time to time.
After several reboots and given that one of the new features of Mavericks is the new management of external monitors, I've tried to re-install from scratch the OS X upgradewithout connecting my laptop to the external LCD but still nothing has changed.
I'm really annoyed by having both monitors flickering. Another particular thing is that if I try to click on the Finder menu appearing on the external monitor, this makes flicker the primary monitor approximately at the same coordinates (i.e., at the Finder menu of the laptop monitor).
It seems like something is going wrong with the video card drivers but this is just my conjecture.
Are you guys experiencing the same or is there anything you might want to suggest to solve these issues?
Thank you in advance
ANY HELP THERE ,IT IS REALLY DISAPONTEING THAT THIS IS HAPPENING WITH APPLE PRODUCTS HELP PLEASE
THANKS

do you solve this problem?Because ı am living same problem.

I shall be visiting Albania in October. I want to take my Apple Macbook Pro with me but am advised to use a Line/Power Conditioner due to fluctuating electricity. What is your view and what do you recommend? Many thanks in advance.

I have an Apple Macbook Pro 13" and will be visiting Albania with it in October. Due to fluctuating electricity, I'm advised to take a line/power conditioner with me. Which products do you recommend? Many thanks in advance.

Many thanks for your speedy response. First of all, I must point out that I'm a Brit and a technophobe. This may explain my possibly foolish questions and answers. I don't need a voltage converter but do need some kind of surge protector. I've lived in India so have experienced first hand the devastating impact of fluctuating electricity. I said I needed a line conditioner because according to the recommended guide book: "The electricity supply in Albania is theoretically 220 volts AC. In practice it is often very much lower. Laptop batteries are usually resilient enough to cope with power spikes, but if you are travelling with sensitive equipment which could be damaged by voltage surges or brownouts, you should obtain a line conditioner......." I checked on google and two recommended ones were APC Surgearrest 3020J and Tripp-Lite SK 12OUSB. I don't remember seeing Targus, Belkin or Kensington mentioned. What I'm really looking for is a good efficient one which is small enough to carry with me on any trip to a country with a dicy electricity supply. The price is less important. As you rightly said, it's important not to cut corners with electricity. My main concern is protecting my UK bought Mac. I'd be really grateful for your advice. I don't have a clue what to buy. Thanks again.

Hi there, I'm thinking of buying both a new MacBook Pro and a small 22 inch LED tv for my kitchen... what would I need to be able to use (wireless of course) the tv as a monitor for the new computer? Apple tv? Airport Express? something else? Thanks.

Hi a,
http://www.mctiviausa.com/
There has been "talk" on and off of Apple TV doing it (and people have done it with a hack), but I haven't really followed it.
It would be a whole lot cheaper getting an adapter (as needed) and cable and simply pluggin it in when you're in the kitchen.

Apple MacBook Pro 2.33GHz Intel Core 2 Duo (17-inch): Maximum momory?

Hi,
There are confusing posts on the maximum memory I can put on Apple MacBook Pro 2.33GHz Intel Core 2 Duo (17-inch). Is it 3GB or 8GB?
Thanks in advance,
YD

Apple says 3GB's, but you can run a max of 4GB's, although only about 3.3GB's will be able to addressed by your system. However, you'll get better performance by running matched pairs, so upgrade to 4GB's.

[SOLVED, mostly] Arch on Apple MacBook Pro 15-inch with Retina Display

I've been looking into the Apple MacBook Pro. Of course, I would want to get rid of Mac OS X and load up Arch. Please tell me if the following will work out-of-the-box or have workarounds:
WiFi
Ethernet
Sound
Touchpad
Keyboard
Charging
Bluetooth
Graphics Card
Webcam
Microphones
USB 3.0 Ports
HDMI Port
SDX Card Reader
I know the high DPI display shouldn't be a problem since GNOME Shell now supports those, but I want to be able to use all of the above things. Also, please let me know if there are any other problems to look out for. Thanks.

I can't comment on your specific model, but IMHO, getting a Mac (especially a Mac laptop) to run Linux exclusively doesn't make much sense, for the following reasons:
Apple's EFI implementation is weird, and some features (most notably the ability to upgrade the firmware) can be done only with the help of OS X. As a practical matter, this means that you'll either have to use exotic tools like the Linux version of "bless" or boot the computer in BIOS/CSM/legacy mode -- and even then, upgrading the firmware will be a hassle, should that become necessary. Booting in BIOS/CSM/legacy mode is the easier path, and there's nothing wrong with doing it that way, but as the industry is moving away from BIOS and toward EFI, it means that either you'll be going in the other direction or you'll need to struggle with a Linux-only EFI-mode installation on the Mac.
Hardware support in Linux for Macs is a bit weird, in part because of the preceding issue (the weird Apple firmware). I realize your question is aimed at uncovering specific answers about this topic, but as a general rule, Apple hardware seems more trouble-prone under Linux than standard PC hardware. Also, note that hardware support can vary depending on the mode you use (BIOS/CSM/legacy vs. EFI). Video hardware can be particularly troublesome on some models, with BIOS/CSM/legacy sometimes working better.
Mac mice (including laptop trackpads) are 1-button devices, but Linux works best with 3-button mice. A 2-button mouse can do in a pinch. Using a 1-button mouse with X requires applying unusual workarounds involving the use of keyboard keys while clicking the mouse button. Although this can be done, it's an extra hassle, both to set up and to use. On a desktop computer, of course, you can just replace the mouse, but this isn't always practical with a laptop.
I haven't checked pricing recently, but Apple hardware tends to carry a price premium compared to similar hardware from other manufacturers.
Although most of these issues (with the possible exception of price, if you're on a tight budget) aren't really critical by themselves, they combine to create a rather unpleasant combination, at least when considering a Mac exclusively as a platform for running Linux. If you wanted to dual-boot with OS X, things would be different, of course, but personally, I wouldn't buy a Mac as a Linux-only computer.
If you've got specific reasons for wanting a Mac, perhaps you could post them here. Although I personally haven't shopped for a laptop for a while and so can't offer specific suggestions, somebody else might be able to suggest alternatives that would do what you want.

Is my apple MacBook Pro laptop compatible with the new Creative Suite 6 program??

I own a Apple MacBook Pro laptop i currently have the operating system Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5.
my laptop is 13 inch laptop not a 15 inch.
Here is the following info about my apple computer below:
Processor 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5
Memory 4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Graphics Intel HD Graphics 4000 384 MB
Software Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63)
I want to make sure that the new Creative Suite 6 program is compatiable with my apple
computer before i buy it. my mother last year had brought me the creative suite 5 program
for my Dell Desktop computer however, this computer later on crashed and now i am stuck with
the CS5 program my mother brought because, this version of this program she brought is
only for a desktop computer that has a windows operating system not for a apple
computer that has a mac operating system. At the time my mother nor i knew if, i
would be getting a new apple computer plus, i needed the program for school so that i
could work on homework assignments at home. Now i am currently stuck with the
windows version of the CS5 program which i cannot use at all. I tried to install it onto
my apple laptop many times before but, i only ended up getting a error message saying
that the software I had wouldn't install to the computer for some reason unexplained.

Does the standard Intel HD Graphics 4000 in the 13 inch Macbook pro stand up to other graphics cards with dedicated memory ( 1GB of memory for instance)?

Does the standard Intel HD Graphics 4000 in the 13 inch Macbook pro stand up to other graphics cards with dedicated memory ( 1GB of memory for instance)? I need a laptop for college and the Engineering program suggests a dedicated video card with minimum 1GB of video memory.

I have a Intel HD 4000 in my Mac Mini (late 2012), and it's okay for what I need it.
However:
- there were a few issues with flickering on the video output to external monitors. These were solved through a firmware update that came with OSX 10.8.3 - for the majority of the users. There is apparently still a small group of users that still has issues. You can read long threads about this here:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4472316?start=0&tstart=0
and here
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4490924?start=0&tstart=0
So for most of us (me included) this issue is solved, but it seems that certain displays / monitors don't work well with the intel HD4000, don't know if there is a pattern or a list of monitor models...
- there was an issue with the color calibration on the HDMI output. No matter how much you tried to calibrate, the results remained unsatisfying. All light colors were crushed to white, wrong contrast, ...
You can read about this here:

https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4480354?start=0&tstart=0
The same firmware update improved this a little, good enough for me, but I can imagine it's not good enough if you do graphic work and need reliable colors from your monitor. On HDMI output, the thunderbolt/MDP output is fine. So it's mainly a dual monitor setup issue.
If it's for graphic work, I'd go for a Mac Book Pro with dedicated GPU !

I have a Apple MacBook Pro "Core i7" 2.8 13" Late 2011. i want to upgrade its RAM from 4GB to 16GB. But OWC sells two kinds of RAM, the DDR3 and the DDR3L.What is the different and which one would work better for my mac. Thanks!!!

Please help! I have a Apple MacBook Pro "Core i7" 2.8 13" Late 2011. i want to upgrade its RAM from 4GB to 16GB. But OWC sells two kinds of RAM, the DDR3 and the DDR3L.What is the different and which one would work better for my mac. Thanks!!!

I don't see any DDR3L on the page for the RAM that would fit your model -> http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/Apple_MacBook_MacBook_Pro/Upgrade/DDR3_133 3MHz_SDRAM.
But the answer is that it doesn't really matter - just make certain to get 1333MHz.
Good luck,

TS1574 My apple macbook pro retina 15'' ME664 has problems with sound.Either there will be no sound at all or at startup there il be very scary and broken sound and afterwards still there would be no sound.Secondly , it does not start in one shot.

My apple macbook pro retina 15'' ME664 has problems with sound.Either there will be no sound at all or at startup there il be very scary and broken sound and afterwards still there would be no sound.Secondly , it does not start in one shot.atleast 2 to 3 times pressing power button for longer time starts it up and afterwards still there will be no sound. Please help

This morning i was not able to hear sound on my recently purchased macbookpro retina 15 inch model.My attempts to resolve this issue by going to system preferences and removing the mute box that was ticked as active. i had downloaded much earlier a mac version of logmein app and noticed that in the sound box noted above that there was a bar indicating that the default was now to logmein. i had never used this app. Why it started today, i have no idea. I moved the logmein application to trash and deleted the app , however it did not remove the default option which still blocked the sound.
Going to a macforum gave the tha anser that to remove the logmein app, it first had to be reinstalled a nd them use the uninstaller option ftrom the dropdown menu. for now that has resolved the failure to allow sound oputput.

Apple MacBook Pro 13'' i7-2,9GHz | 8GB | 750GB (MD102) vs Apple MacBook Pro 13'' Retina i5-2,4GHz | 8GB | SSD 256GB (ME865)

Hey guys. I'm going to buy a macboock pro for the first time and I have 1500/1600€ to spend. I will need to use programs such as illustrator, photoshop, after effects, premier or final cut pro and 3d programs like blender (3d modelling and animation). I don't know wich of this two macs to pick (the price is the same for both, at least here in Portugal), so help me here.
Apple MacBook Pro 13'' i7-2,9GHz | 8GB | 750GB (MD102) vs Apple MacBook Pro 13'' Retina i5-2,4GHz | 8GB | SSD 256GB (ME865)

If nor money, nor space are a constraint, I would go for the Retina model with the i7 processor and the largest available SSD. And 16Gb of RAM, of course...
I would never consider a computer with an i5 processor and just 256 GB of storage!
And the Retina machines cannot be upgraded later, so better to order it at full specs...
So, as the package is now fixed (Retina, i7, 16 GB RAM, 1Tb SSD), the only choice now is between a 13" or 15" model.
If, as you said, space is not a problem, then go for the 15".... If you prefer the 13" screen, you will get the most powerful 13-inch machine available...
In both cases you wll get the maximum currently possible.... That is the only sensible choice when money is not a constraint...

Apple macbook pro charger for MD314LLA, need help

Guys,
I both apple macbook pro last year( model MD314LL\A( 13.3 inch. My charger stop working and I am looking to purchase new one. While searching I am confused which one I have to buy. Need help from you community to please suggest me which one is best and compitable for my laptop.
I see below 2 model in AMAZON. pls let me know which one is compitable for my laptop.

I personally would not purchase either charger. I have seen many posts on this forum complaining about 'inexpensive' chargers and batteries for Apple MBPs. To purchase these 'knockoff' counterfeits is tantamount to throwing your money away. They may be 'refurbished' by a third party (something Apple does not do with chargers) but that would indicate that they failed before. Or they may be cheap imitations built to questionable standards.
You have spent a lot of money on your MBP, do not let it suffer a malfunction just to save $50. You may find that repairs might cost a lot more than that. Buy a real one from Apple as Ralph suggests.
Ciao.
